Defined as: The most common procedure for acquiring a duplicate title showing the current information existing on the New Jersey MV system. This is only necessary when the physical title is unavailable. If a title is available, but damaged, the procedure is called 'replacement' title. Ask NJ CAR Title Services staff for instructions if this applies to your situation.
